Results of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) performance tests conducted at the DOE's Coal Fired Flow Facility (CFFF) are reported. During 1989 a series of compliance tests for emissions of particulates and SO{sub 2} were conducted under the supervision of the Tennessee Department of Health and Environment's Air Pollution Control Board using standard EPA methods. The CFFF met all compliance requirements for state permitting with mass emissions of approximately 0.05 pounds per million Btu (lb/MMBtu) and sulfur dioxide emissions averaging 0.5 lb/MMBtu. Current limits under state law allow for particulates and SO{sub 2} emissions of 0.19 and 5.0 lb/MMBtu, respectively. Tougher federal new Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for SO{sub 2} emissions were also met by the facility during compliance testing. 6 figs., 3 tabs.
